Summary

Fisher-Price is recalling approximately 63,000 Soothing Motions Seats and Smart Connect Soothing Motions Seats because the motor housing can overheat and catch fire. There have been 36 reports of the motor housing overheating, including one report of a fire contained within the unit. These seats were sold nationwide at retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon between November 2015 and October 2017 for between $160 and $175. Consumers should stop using these seats immediately and contact Fisher-Price for a full refund.

Risk
